“…Whilst both the US and UK have national standards for the provision of burn care [19,20], the standards for the psychosocial treatment of survivors are general and do not give guidance regarding specific treatments for specific psychosocial disorders. Given the high prevalence of psychiatric complications among burn survivors [21][22][23] Whilst our survey focused on the US and UK, future research could usefully explore the provision of psychosocial services for burns patients and their families elsewhere in the world.…”

“…Moreover, study samples were relatively small (n's between 17 and 76), with the exception of one Australian study on 130 young burn survivors with minor burn injuries [6]. Further, mothers were the principal informants on child postburn emotional and behavioural outcome in virtually all paediatric burn studies [15]. Moreno and colleagues [16] have argued that ''the scarcity of father involvement in psychological research has likely yielded an incomplete picture of the familial context involved in child and adolescent psychopathology, especially in the assessment of youth's internalising and externalising behaviour problems'' (p. 915).…”

This study examines mother-and father-rated emotional and behaviour problems in and worries about 0-to 5-year-old children at 3 and 12 months after a burn event and the relation with parental distress. Mothers (n = 150) and fathers (n = 125) representing 155 children participated in this study. Child emotional and behaviour problems and parental worries about the child were assessed with the Child Behavior Checklist at both time points. Parents' level of acute subjective distress was assessed within the first month after the burn event with the Impact of Event Scale. Mothers and fathers held comparable views of their child's emotional and behaviour problems, which were generally within the normal limits. Parents' own acute stress reactions were significantly related to parent-rated child behaviour problems at 3 and 12 months postburn. A substantial part of mothers' and fathers' worries about the child concerned physical and emotional aspects of the burn trauma, and potential future social problems. Parents with high acute stress scores more often reported burn-related concerns about their child at 3 and 12 months postburn. Health-care professionals should be informed that parents' distress in the subacute phase of their child's burn event may be related to subsequent worries about their child and to (parent-observed) child emotional and behaviour problems. The authors recommend a family perspective, with particular attention for the interplay between parents' distress and parent-reported child behaviour problems and worries, in each phase of paediatric burn care.

“…The consequent physical and psychological adjustments may be worsened by the circumstances, severity and site(s) of the injury, the child's personality, and the access to supportive social relationships. [14] The highest childhood burn mortality and hospitalisation rates are reported in the first 3 years of a child's life, with rates thereafter decreasing until adoles cence, when burn mortality rates again start to increase. [15] The highest concentrations of burn injury are reported in informal settlements or low-cost-housing neighbourhoods.…”
